Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 2009
Selling Port St. Lucie (sellingportstlucie.com) is operated by Michele Lee Scherger (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy, and this policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways:
Information you provide directly. When you fill out a contact or inquiry form on this site, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the details of your question or request. We use this information solely to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use analytics tools that automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and general geographic location. This information is aggregated and used to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. It is not used to personally identify you.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect only to respond to your questions and requests, to provide real estate services you ask about, and to understand and improve how this website performs. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes.
How Your Information Is Shared
We do not share your personal information with anyone except as needed to serve you. When you submit an inquiry about buying or selling a home, your information may be entered into the Multiple Listing Service systems we use to serve clients, including FlexMLS through BeachesMLS, so that we can follow up on your request and provide accurate listing and market information.
In addition, this website relies on standard third-party service providers to operate, such as website hosting, form processing, and analytics services. These providers may process limited information on our behalf as part of delivering their services.
Third-Party Services
While we choose our service providers carefully, we do not control the privacy practices of third parties, including MLS systems, analytics providers, hosting companies, or any external websites linked from this site. Their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services or websites.
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies and similar technologies to support analytics. Cookies are small files stored by your browser that help us understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent; the site will still function, though some features may work differently.
Data Retention
We keep the information you submit through our forms only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and provide the services you request, or as required for legitimate business and legal purposes.
Your Choices and Rights
You may contact us at any time to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request a correction, or to ask that we delete information you have submitted through this site. We will honor these requests to the extent permitted by applicable law and our professional obligations.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information submitted through this site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
